We are in the Golden Era for Boston sports coaches.
Right now we have three active coaches (Bill Belichick, Terry Francona, Doc Rivers) who have won a championship with their respective teams. Until 2004 there had never been a period in Boston sports history in which even two of the four active coaches had a Boston title on their résumé (makes sense, I guess, when you consider that one team didn't win its first title until 2001 and another went 86 years between crowns).
With that in mind, here is our list of top coaches in Boston pro sports history. The only rule is this: We are grading only for the work done while in Boston. So, managing the 1961 Yankees doesn't help Ralph Houk, and the 9-8 effort submitted by Rod Rust with the Montreal Alouettes in 2001 was memorable but sadly not a factor on this chart.
Feel free to e-mail email@example.com with any agreements, disagreements or anything else that might help fill a mailbag ...
10. Bill Russell (162-83, two NBA titles)
I don't feel great about this one (can't shake the Sacramento run), but he did win two championships, which pretty much gets you a spot on the list. I can't imagine there are many coaches who have two NBA titles and zero division crowns, but Russell managed to pull it off.
(What do think, will we ever see another player-coach in a major sport? I think probably not, especially when you consider that we are in the era of 30 assistant coaches for every team. I guess the best bet would be baseball, where you could get a guy in his early 40s playing twice a week with most of his energy focused on managing — as Pete Rose did in the 1980s. Not the best example in terms of a role model, but you get the point.
9. Duane Charles Parcells (32-32, one AFC title)
With Tedy Bruschi retired, there are now no players left from the Bill Parcells era in Foxboro. Bobby Grier has a 1-0 lead. See, Robert Kraft knew what he was doing.
Parcells was the anti-K.C. Jones, if you will (and I will, thanks). The Tuna needed to have his hands on everything. But, like K.C., he arrived at the job at the perfect time. The 1993 Patriots were in more dire need of a highly competent micromanager than any franchise I can remember. And sure, it got Joey Greco ugly at the end, but don't forget this: Without Parcells, you never get Belichick.
It's hard to remember now — the Belichick era has pretty much wiped out the Parcells years from the memory of Pats fans — how important it was when Parcells took over in New England. It didn't seem possible at the time, I'm not even sure there would be an equivalent today. Maybe if Belichick took over the Raiders, or Phil Jackson went to the Clippers. It just gave the franchise instant credibility that hasn't gone away in 16 years. If you recall, the Patriots nearly went with a combination of Tom Donahoe as general manager and Dom Capers as coach before hiring Belichick in 2000. Let's take a wild leap and assume that might not have worked out as well. Imagine how differently you'd then view the Parcells tenure. It would look like freaking Camelot. But Parcells managed to do what he does — burn some bridges on his endless search for a few dollars more. Just wait — he'll leave Miami for somewhere else (I keep thinking San Francisco for some reason) in a year or two. And the Dolphins will have a much better team than before he arrived, and still he'll be hated by at least half the fans. Happens every time.
8. Tom Johnson (142-42-23, one Stanley Cup)
Should he be on here? Is three years (really two-plus years, he coached just 52 games in 1972-73 before Bep Guidolin took over) enough? I don't know, but I need a Bruins coach on this list. Guess I could've gone with Harry Sinden or Don Cherry or even Art Ross. Johnson has the best winning percentage in Bruins history (.738) so we'll call that the tiebreaker. (The Bruins have won five Cups with five different coaches.) If Cherry had won a Cup, he'd be ahead of Johnson for sure (and higher on this list).
(Johnson, of course, was the coach for the last Stanley Cup-winning Bruins team, which was 37 years ago. The last time the Bruins won the Cup, "The Godfather" had not yet been released. Tiger Woods and Tom Brady hadn't been born. Neither had Rodney Harrison (that one surprised me). Larry King was younger in 1972 than Anderson Cooper is now. Cloris Leachman was a sex symbol. My point is that it's been a little while.)
6. (Tie) Joe McCarthy (223-145) and Dick Williams (260-217, one AL pennant)
Reason why the Red Sox didn't win a World Series for 86 years, No. 48,884:
Tom Yawkey managed to get just six combined seasons of service in Boston from McCarthy and Williams, each a Hall of Famer (McCarthy arrived in Boston with nine pennants and seven World Series wins. His .615 winning percentage is still tops all time. Bill James, among many others, considers McCarthy the best manager in baseball history) who had considerable success with the Red Sox. But both were opinionated and weren't afraid to clash with ownership. Yawkey was more comfortable with racists (oops, I meant "yes men") such as Pinky Higgins, who managed the Sox for eight years (or two more than McCarthy and Williams combined) and never finished higher than third place. Here's an excerpt from Howard Bryant's terrific book, "Shut Out: A story of race and baseball in Boston," that lets you know who old Pinky might've voted for had be been alive for the 2008 presidential election …
"Higgins swore never to field a black player. As a final act in the spring of 1959, he had sent Pumpsie Green back to the minors in a spiteful, last-second gesture. The Red Sox struggled early in the season with poor infield play, and Larry Claflin, a columnist for the Boston Record American, asked Higgins if he would bolster the infield by recalling Green, who, in the minors, was hitting over .300 and playing solid defense. Higgins responded by calling Claflin a "ni—er lover" and spit tobacco juice all over him."
And why did it take so long (20 years after he retired) to get Dick Williams into the Hall of Fame? He managed the 1967 Red Sox, won two World Series with the A's and took the Padres to the World Series in 1984. I don't think there have been 10 better managers in the post-WWII era. He actually reminds me a lot of Parcells. Williams would instantly make his teams better but would inevitably leave after battling ownership.
1966 Red Sox: 72-90
1967 Red Sox: (Williams' first season) 92-70
1970 A's: 89-73
1971 A's: (Williams' first season) 101-60
1976 Expos: 55-107
1977 Expos: (Williams' first season) 75-87
1981 Padres: 41-69 (strike season)
1982 Padres: (Williams' first season) 81-81
5. K.C. Jones (308-102, two NBA titles)
Right man, right time.
There is a talent in knowing that it's best to stay out the way. That's not to suggest that Jones did nothing but roll the ball out during his five years as head coach of the Celtics, but he knew Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish were ready to take the lead. They had been Fitch'd out and didn't need the next guy to yell at them for eight months. And Jones, to his eternal credit, recognized that instantly.
All Jones did in five seasons as head coach was win five division titles, four Eastern Conference crowns and the two NBA championships (and yes, I think it would've been three without the injuries in 1987). He was in charge of the best team I've ever seen in any sport, and when his tenure with the Celtics was finished he had won more than 75 percent of his games with the club. I'm thinking that if Red Auerbach had a list of his five biggest regrets in basketball, the decision to force Jones out the door so they could keep Jimmy Rodgers would have to be in the top three. The golden rule that Red forgot to follow, of course, is never give up a proven winner for a guy with a perm.
4. Tommy Heinsohn (427-263, two NBA titles)
I know, I'm surprised, too.
Why are the 1974 and 1976 teams so overlooked? No kidding, if it weren't for the triple-OT game vs. the Suns in '76 you would hear nothing about those seasons. You never hear about the 1974 NBA finals. Why is that? We're talking about a series that included a pair of overtime games (including a double-OT Game 6 classic) and a Game 7 win on the road (in Milwaukee). Against Kareem in his prime. For a lot of franchises that win would be the defining moment, the one that fans would compare to all others. I know, the Celtics aren't just any franchise, but still it strikes me as strange. The 1985 Pats have a higher Q rating. My best guesses as to why they fell through the historical cracks?
Tommy Heinsohn is seventh all-time in winning percentage. He won five division titles and the two championships. The 1973 team, another forgotten group, won 68 games, a team record. Clearly the guy could coach. So, I sometimes wonder (A) Why he never coached again, and (B) how he managed to get through games (much less seasons) without actually murdering referees. I know it's his shtick to some degree (sometimes I feel that Tommy thinks he has to be Johnny Most, the one guy that's on "our" side), but there is no doubt in my mind that Tommy believes the three refs get together before the game and figure out how to screw the Celtics. Just a crazy way to go through life. Of course, a cynic might note that when Tommy was doing the national games for CBS there was no screaming at refs and cheering for Celtics players. How was he able to hide those feelings, that same cynic might ask. I'll let that slide and instead use this space to celebrate a five-year stretch of coaching that included an average of 59 wins a year, five Atlantic crowns and the 1974 and 1976 titles. Whatever he has become over the last 15 years or so is his own making. But he deserves a spot on this list.
3. Terry Francona (548-396, two World Series titles)
Nine things you might (or might not) know about Terry Francona:
1. He was a teammate of Bill Lee (1981-82, Montreal)
2. Francona was the 22nd overall pick of the 1980 draft. The 23rd pick? Billy Beane.
3. His father (the original Tito) was twice traded for Larry Doby, once in 1957 and again in 1959.
4. He turned out to be the perfect fit as a manager for Theo and the crew, but he sure wouldn't have been their kind of player. In 1,826 career plate appearances, Francona drew just 65 walks (career .300 OBP).
5. He was teammates with a 23-year-old Jamie Moyer with the Cubs in 1986.
6. On his baseball-reference.com page, the most similar player to Francona at ages 25 and 26 is current Sox batting coach Dave Magadan.
7. Though Francona did not sign, he was originally drafted by the Cubs with the 38th overall pick in 1977. The 39th pick was Bobby Sprowl, one of the legendary flameouts in Red Sox history.
8. In 1986, using the pseudonym "Midnight Snack," Francona released a solo R&B album. Though it sold only 16,000 copies, it was a minor hit with the critics and even received a Grammy nomination for best R&B album (it lost to Billy Ocean's "Love Zone").
9. Francona has a 22-9 career postseason record. That .710 winning percentage is the highest mark in playoff history for all managers with at least 20 games.
Here's what I wrote about Francona from a column a few months back:
I know this is hard to believe, but one more World Series win and Francona is going to the Hall of Fame. Every manager with at least three World Series is in (with the exception of Joe Torre, a lock for future enshrinement). Do you feel like you have a Hall of Famer in the dugout with Tito? Tough to argue with 90-95 wins a season and an 8-0 record in the World Series, I guess.
2. Bill Belichick (103-43, four AFC titles, three Super Bowl wins)
I started out this column with idea of placing Belichick in the top spot. My argument would have gone something like this:
All three of those thoughts have plenty of validity. But I have to be fair, all three put together don't make up for the six extra championships on Auerbach's ledger. And no, this has nothing to do with Belichick getting his clock cleaned by Rex Ryan last week.
1. Red Auerbach (795-397, nine NBA titles)
Not much to add, I figure you already know enough about this guy. But I do think that sometimes I (and others) are guilty of just looking at Auerbach the coach as someone who did nothing without Russell. Not true. Sure, no titles, but some pretty solid seasons.
1946-47 Washington: 49-11
1948-49 Washington: 38-22
1951-52 Celtics: 39-27
1952-52 Celtics: 46-25
So, this wasn't Lionel Hollins lucking into Bill Russell. Auerbach was already an established winner by 1956.
By the way, if this were a list of the top 10 executives in Boston sports history, you'd have the same guys ranked at 1 and 2 (though, to be fair, it isn't even close. Belichick at 2 on that list would be closer to 100 than to 1. Red is the best front office guy in any sport by 50 miles).

This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Ser. No. 07/504,497 filed Apr. 4, 1990, now abandoned.
This invention relates to gel stick compositions that are especially clear. More specifically, this invention concerns transparent gel stick compositions that are suitable for various cosmetic utilities, including that of a deodorant stick composition. Most specifically, the invention of the present application relates to transparent cosmetic stick compositions containing a branched chain alkoxylated emollient of limited solubility in water in combination with a water-soluble alkoxylated emollient.
Gelled compositions in stick form are well known and have been used for various cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications. The gel sticks should be of such firmness that a reasonable amount of active ingredients is applied when the stick is rubbed over the skin. Transparent gel stick compositions are also known and may be preferred by consumers, perhaps because they regard the clarity as an indication of product purity or performance.
Thus, U.S. Pat. No. 4,759,924 to Luebbe et al discloses cosmetic stick compositions comprising about 40-70% of a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol; about 3-10% soap; about hydroalcoholic soluble emollient and water, the emollient having the formula R(OC3 H6)a (OC2 H4)b OH wherein a/(a+b)≦0.5. Optionally, the compositions also may contain less thigh about 12.5% of a short chain monohydric alcohol such as ethanol and up to about 10%, preferably 1-5% of a water-insoluble emollient.
The water-insoluble emollients disclosed in the patent are fatty esters, fatty ethers, alkoxylated fatty esters, fatty alcohols and low molecular weight silicone Typical materials include isopropyl palmitate, myreth-4, PEG-8-distearate, cetyl alcohol, dimethicone copolyol, cyclomemethicne and dimethicone.
A clear stick formulation is also disclosed in de Navarre, The Chemistry and Manufacture of Cosmetics, Vol. IV, p. 697 (Second Edition 1975), The de Navarre composition contains 15% Pluronic F-127 (a polyoxyethylene, polyoxypropylene block copolymer); 7% sodium stearate; 68% propylene glycol and water. However, the de Navarre formulation does not contain a water-insoluble emollient, Moreover, the formulation of de Navarre is exceptionally hard.
Cosmetic gel stick compositions are also disclosed in GB 2,114,887, which compositions comprise 2-60% of an alkanol having 1-4 carbons; 2-50% of a diol having 4 carbons, and soap, the composition having an average melting point of at least 50� C. The compositions of the GB '887 application may also contain an ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide condensation product of the formula H(C2 H4 O)a (C2 H4 O)a (C3 H6 O)b OR where R is either hydrogen or an alkyl group having from 1 to 20 carbons and a and b are each from 0 to 35, the sum of a+b not exceeding 35. There is no indication that the formulations of GB '887 are clear.
Gelled deodorant compositions are also disclosed in Appell, Cosmetics, Fragrances and Flavors, p. 62 (1982).
U.S. Pat. No. 4,268,498 to Gedeon et al discloses clear sticks containing 2-5% polyoxyethylene (17-23) -glucose fatty acid ester; 2-5% polyoxyethylene (20-26) ether of a long chain alcohol; 24-72% polyoxypropylene (2-5) ether of a long chain alcohol; 5-8% sodium salt of a fatty acid; 5-10% propylene glycol; 5-10% lower alkyl ester of a fatty acid; 2-5% water, and 3-40% of a cosmetically active ingredient.
Aqueous gel compositions containing a water-insoluble pharmaceutically or cosmetically active organic ingredient employing as gelling agents certain polyoxyethylene/polyoxypropylene block copolymers are disclosed in Schmolka, U.S. Pat. No. 3,867,533. U.S. Pat. No. 4,089,814, also to Schmolka, discloses a roll-on perfume composition comprising per 100 parts by weight of composition, 5-15 parts essential oil; 25-40 parts alcohol; 20-40 parts certain polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene block copolymers, and 5-50 parts water.
A solid, transparent, gelled antiperspirant composition is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,154,816 to Roehl et al, the compositions of Roehl containing a lower monohydric alcohol, a di- and/or trihydric alcohol and/or a lower polyglycol, a propylene-ethylene glycol polycondensate having the formula HO(C2 H4 O)x (C3 H6 O)y H wherein y/(x+y)=0.6 to 1 and have a molecular weight of at least 500; dibenzaldehyde-monosorbitol acetal; an antiperspirant compound, and mono- or dialkylolamide of a higher fatty acid.
Cosmetic stick compositions containing an active are also disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,226,889 to Yuhas, the compositions containing by weight 1-30 parts sodium stearate; 100 parts water and the active material. Preferably, the composition also contains a polyhydroxyl compound such as a glycol or polyglycol in an amount of from 0.5-10% by weight of the composition.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,346,079 to Roehl discloses antiperspirant compositions containing dibenzaldehyde-monosorbitol acetal as a gelling agent and up to only about 10% of propylene-ethylene polycondensate. A solid antiperspirant stick composition is also disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,425,328 to Nabial, the base compositions containing hydrophobic waxy matrixes including a volatile silicone emollient, the level of which may be reduced by incorporation of certain liquid polyoxypropylene-alkyl ethers.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,382,079 and 4,440,742, both to Marschner, disclose deodorant stick compositions containing a bicarbonate. In addition to the bicarbonate, the Marschner compositions contain a soap-based gel comprising 20-90% polyhydric alcohol gelled by about 2-15% of an alkali metal salt of a C14 -C20 saturated fatty acid. Other optional ingredients include soaps, emollients and emulsifiers such as silicones, fatty esters, fatty amines, fatty alcohols, ethoxylated fatty alcohols and acids, thickeners and bacteriostats. The compositions of Marschner are said to be clear, notwithstanding the incorporation of the bicarbonate. Thus, the composition of Example 16 containing 8% potassium bicarbonate is reported to have similar appearance to the composition of Example 15, which has no bicarbonate.
Clear aqueous gels prepared from certain polyoxybutylene-polyoxyethylene block copolymers are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,465,663 to Schmolka. Cosmetic sticks comprising polyhydric aliphatic alcohols, ethylene oxide and/or propylene condensation products, and soap are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,504,465 to Sampson et al.
A nonstaining antiperspirant stick composition is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,511,554 to Geria et al. Other antiperspirant/deodorant stick compositions are disclosed U.S. Pat. No. 4,524,062 to Laba et al and U.S. Pat. No. 4,720,381 to Schamper et al. Clear acid stable dibenzyl monosorbitol acetal gels are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,725,430 to Schamper et al. A transparent gel base is disclosed in GB 1,207,438, the composition comprising 47-75% of a mixture of alkylene oxide block polymers and fatty alcohol polyethylene glycol ethers and/or alkyl-phenol-polyethylene glycol ethers. Cosmetic gels are also disclosed in GB 2,020,974 A and GB 2,114,887 A.
A nonaqueous deodorant stick composition is disclosed in Canadian Patent 1,196,867 to Geria.
Notwithstanding the array of prior art in the field of cosmetic compositions, the gel compositions designated as clear or translucent do not have the degree of clarity desirable such products. Moreover, many of the prior art products tend to become cloudy or hazy after standing for a period of time. Typically, the haziness becomes progressively worse, so after about a month or so the product is quite cloudy and can be said to have little or no transparency. Inasmuch as products such as these are often warehoused for one or more months subsequent to manufacture, the length of time the product retains at least the major portion of its transparency is an important characteristic.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a clear gel stick composition suitable for use in cosmetic applications, especially deodorant products.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide such a stick composition that has a length of life in excess of about one month.
The cosmetic gel stick compositions of the present invention comprise from about 3 to about 8% soap; from about 1 to about 7% water soluble polyoxyalkylene ether of a fatty alcohol; from about 1 to about 5% polyoxyalkylene ether of a branched chain fatty alcohol, said ether having limited solubility in water; from about 10 to about 20% water, and from about 60 to about 90% aliphatic polyhydric alcohol having from 2 to 6 carbons and from 2 to 6 hydroxyl groups. The polyoxyalkylene ethers are functionally incorporated as emollients, and generally are polyoxyethylene ethers. In some instances, however, polyoxyethylene, polyoxypropylene ethers of fatty alcohols having less than about 20 mol percent polyoxypropylene based on the total tools of polyoxyalkylene might also be suitable.
The clarity of gel stick compositions has been found to be improved by incorporating into the composition an amount of a polyoxyethylene ether of a branched chain fatty alcohol effective to provide transparency, as defined below. The ether of the branched fatty alcohol is an emollient that has limited solubility in water, and is hereinafter referred to as the "water dispersible emollient." This designation, however, is not intended to rule out the use of materials typically categorized as water-insoluble, inasmuch as the terms "water-insoluble" and "water-dispersible" are not quantitatively exact. In this regard ample definition of the suitable ethers of branched fatty alcohols is provided below.
Suitable water-dispersible emollients are those polyoxyethylene ethers whose branched fatty alcohol moiety typically has from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms. Preferably, the fatty alcohol moiety has 14 to 20 carbons, most preferably 18 carbons. The average number of ethylene glycol ether units is from 1 to about 6, preferably from 11/2 to about 4, most preferably from about 2 to about 3. As the number of ethylene glycol ether repeating units increases, the material will become increasingly dispersible in water. Accordingly, care must be used when using the water-dispersible emollients that have an average number of glycol ether units of about 4 and above. The preferred water-dispersible emollient is the polyoxyethylene ether of isostearyl alcohol having two ethylene glycol ether units, this material also being called Isosteareth-2 in the CTFA Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary (Third Edition 1982) . Using the CTFA nomenclature, other suitable materials are Isodeceth-4, Isodeceth-5, Isolaureth-3, Isosteareth-3, and Isosteareth-6.
The water-dispersible emollient is present in an of from about 1 to about 5%, preferably 2 to about 4% by weight of the composition. Its hydrophobic-lipophilic balance (HLB) less than about 10-11, which is the region between water dispersibility and water solubility. Preferably, the HLB between about 4 to about 9.
The second essential ingredient in the compositions of the present invention is a water-soluble emollient. Suitable water-soluble emollients are polyoxyethylene ethers of fatty alcohols having a sufficient number of ethylene glycol ether units to provide solubility. Preferably, these water-soluble emollients have in excess of an average of about 20 ethylene glycol ether units, most preferably in excess of 35 such units. The fatty alcohol moiety will have from about 8 to about 22 carbons, preferably from about 14 to about 18 carbons, preferably 18 carbons. Especially suitable as the water-soluble emollient is polyoxyethylene ether of stearyl alcohol having 100 ethylene glycol ether units. The CTFA Dictionary nomenclature for this material is Steareth-100. Using the nomenclature of the CTFA Dictionary, other suitable materials are Ceteareths-20, 25, 30, 50 and 55; Ceteths-20, 25 and 45; Cetoleth-25; Laureths-25, 30 and 40; Oleths-25 and 50, and Steareths-20, 30, 40, 50 and 100. Polyoxyethylene, polyoxypropylene ethers fatty alcohols having less than about 20 mol percent polyoxy-propylene may also be suitable in some instances, the alcohol moiety being as defined above. Also suitable are polyoxyethylene glycols having from about 20 to about 200 mols ethylene oxide per molecule. Typically, the HLB value of the water soluble emollient will be above about 12, preferably from about 15 to about 20.
The water-soluble emollient is present in an amount of from about 1 to about 7%, preferably from about 2 to about 5% by weight of the composition.
The compositions of the present invention also include an alkali metal fatty acid soap such as sodium stearate, laurate, sodium myristate, palmitate, and potassium coccate. The soaps are contained in the composition of the present invention in an amount of from about 3 to about 8%, preferably from about 4 to about 6% of the weight of the composition.
An organic solvent is also an essential ingredient of the subject invention. The solvent of choice is propylene glycol, although other polyhydric aliphatic alcohols having from 2 to 6 carbons, preferably 2 or 3 carbons, may be used. In addition to propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, glycerin and sorbitol are suitable. The organic solvent is present in an amount of from about 60 to about 90%, preferably from 70 to about 85% by weight of the composition.
The last essential constituent is water, which present in an amount of from 10 to about 20%, preferably about 12 to about 18% by weight of the composition.
The compositions of the present invention are transparent to the transmission of light. By transparent is meant that sufficient light passes through the gel sticks of the present invention to enable an observer to see without difficulty an image, e.g., lettering, placed at the rear of the stick. Generally, gel sticks in accordance with the present invention will transmit more than 40% of the light passed through, the percentage of light transmission being obtained by the procedure set forther in Example 1.
Preferably, more than 50% of the light will pass through using the protocol of Example 1. Most preferably, 60% or more of the light will pass through, such products being exceptionally clear. Moreover, the gel sticks of the present invention remain transparent for a reasonable period of time, typically at least about one month at room temperature preferably for at least three months at room temperature.
In addition to clarity, the products of the present invention must have sufficient hardness so that they may be applied without damage to the stick. On the other hand, a sufficient amount of the composition must adhere to the skin when the stick composition is used on skin. Typically, the stick compositions of the present invention will have a hardness of from about 2 to about 6, preferably from about 2.5 to about 4.5, as measured on a Chatilion Gauge, Model No. DPP-5, at a speed setting where the product being tested is propelled upwards at a speed of 3 cm/min. The product stick is then raised one inch above the top of its package and centered under the cutter along the longitudinal axis of the ellipse. A cut of 30 seconds is made, and the hardness reading from the gauge is obtained.
Adjuvants include coloring agents, fragrance agents, and bacteriocides. Each of these adjuvants is included in an amount suitable to obtain its requisite function, typically less than about 1% by weight of the composition. Suitable coloring agents are the FD&C grade dyes such as FD&C Blue #1 and FD&C Yellow #5. The dye is typically present in the range of from about 0.01 to 1%, preferably 0.01 to 0.1% by weight. The dye concentration, however, should not be so high as to render the product opaque. Emollients such as isopropyl stearate, isopropyl myristate, isobutyl myristate and the like may be included at low levels, typically less than about 1% by weight of the composition, to improve feel properties. The compositions of the present invention may also include a deodorant material. Suitable deodorant materials include bacteriostatic quaternary ammonium compounds such as cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide, cetylpyridinium chloride, di-isobutylphenoxyethoxy ethyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, N-alkylpyridinium chloride, sodium N-laureloyl sarcosinate; stearyltrimethyl ammonium chloride and 2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxydiphenyl ether, known as Triclosan. Deodorants, if present, are generally included in an amount of from about 0.05 to about 1% by weight of the composition.
Low levels, less than 12.5%, preferably less than by weight of the composition of a low molecular weight alcohol may be also incorporated, e.g., ethanol.
The compositions of the present invention are made by admixing the various ingredients together in the liquid state, materials otherwise solid at room temperature being melted before, during or after addition, pouring the liquid mixture into a mold, and thereafter allowing the admixture to solidify.
The gel sticks are used by the consumer by rubbing the gel stick on the area of the body where application of the actives is desired. A deodorant stick, for example, is used by applying the stick to the axilla area to apply the deodorant agent.
The benefits of the compositions of the present invention are demonstrated in the examples below, which are not intended to be limiting. Unless otherwise indicated, all concentrations are on a weight basis and all ingredients are identified on a 100% actives basis.
The compositions set forth in Table I were prepared by first heating the propylene glycol to 180�-200� F. after which the Steareth-100 was added, with mixing, followed by the addition with mixing of the stearate soap and the water. After cooling slightly, the insoluble emollient is added, followed by further cooling, to about 140�-150� F. The remaining ingredients are then added, and the batch is cooled slightly, poured into containers, and cooled to room temperature.

The Compositions A, B and C were evaluated for clarity by measuring the amount of light transmission through the gel product. The percent transmission varies with the wavelength light. The wavelengths that define the range of minimum and maximum light transmission depends on the presence or absence a dye in the gel stick, and the concentration of the present. Thus, a colorless product would be expected to transmit more light than a dye-containing product. The percent light transmission also depends on the color of the dye. For the Compositions A, B and C, which contain a blue dye, the highest percent transmission occurring at about 800 nm and the lowest at about 400 nm. An intermediate wavelength of 600 nm was used in measuring light transmission, in accordance with the following procedure: 40 grams of molten composition was into a petri dish (Thomas Petri dish, 100 mm diameter�15 mm deep) and allowed to cool and solidify at room temperature overnight. A spectral scan from 400 nm to 800 nm was taken and the transmission at 600 nm was measured.
For Composition A, which does not contain any water-insoluble emollient, the average transmission light was 9.15%. For Composition B, within the scope of the present invention and containing 3 % Isosteareth-2, the average transmission of light was 73.95%. For Composition C, which is outside the scope of the present invention in that it contains a linear chain water-insoluble emollient, the average light transmission was 0.17%.
Composition B was evaluated for stability. The composition in its molten state was poured into a conventional deodorant stick container and then stored under various conditions as reported below.

Deepby Ror-Shak
While Kosheen took drum'n'bass to the mainstream club and Pendulum twisted it into something approaching fist-pumping, arena rock, Ror-Shak want to become the Zero 7 or Röyksopp of drum'n'bass. Members DJ DB and Shaun Morris bring the genre into the lounge on their debut album, Deep, a laid-back and often spacy effort that works best in the background thanks to some cringe-worthy words. Luckily, these producers have great taste in vocalists with Naked Music veteran Lisa Shaw supplying the soul while David Lynch's muse Julee Cruise supplies the previously mentioned spaciness. Morningwood frontwoman Chantal Claret does an excellent job on this slowly building cover of the Cure's "A Forest," but it's the lesser known Wendy Starland who comes in first with her jazzy, Billie Holiday inspired voice gracing two cuts. Ror-Shak's rich, warm soundscapes and their infectious drum'n'bass rhythms would be just as listenable as instrumentals, so even with all the beautiful voices, Deep would be better off stripped of some hippy, trippy, and trite words.

Waynesburg University recently established an agreement with Agape College, located in northeastern India, through which Agape will recruit international students in Nagaland, India, for Waynesburg University.
"Waynesburg's strategic goals include the increase of our global literacy and diversity – building student understanding of an engagement with the world around us," said Rev. Carolyn Poteet, director of international programs at Waynesburg University.
"The partnership with Agape will directly contribute to these goals. We also hope that these international students will gain the skills and wisdom they need to be world changers, growing in faith, learning and serving here at Waynesburg."
Agape College was founded in 1991 and has established strong relationships among the Christian communities of Nagaland. Nagaland is one of three majority-Christian states in India, thus providing an opportunity for Waynesburg and its Christian-based mission to further its international presence and partnerships.
"Agape College is excited to become a partner with Waynesburg University," said Agape College President Dr. Louis Ao. "This partnership will expand opportunities for students from India to pursue an American college education with over 70 major concentrations offered at a highly rated Christian university."
International student applicants to Waynesburg are eligible for merit scholarship consideration based on their high school academic achievement and SAT scores.
Agape, an independent, non-denominational Bible college, is accredited by the Asia Theological Association.
Agape will begin the recruiting process immediately for the 2016-17 academic year. For more information, contact Poteet at email@example.com or 724-852-3302, or Dr. Keshito Awomi, principal at Agape College, at email@example.com or 879-432-6104.

It was a day of mixed conditions, with race one delayed by twenty minutes and shortened by one lap, but starting dry. As light rain began to fall on lap six, however, 26-year-old Rea moved to the front and extended his lead to more than six seconds before easing off in the closing two laps.
Rea got a slow start to race two, circulating in ninth place before making a steady climb towards another podium challenge. However, the red flags prevented any further progress after a crash involving his team-mate Leon Haslam at Stowe, but the Isle of Man resident was less than impressed with his race two performance.
"Race one was probably one of the sweetest victories of my career because to ride out-front in those conditions was quite scary. I was so happy for the whole team and our sponsors, but I had to be very cautious. I also had to be smart and, as I saw the gap heading into the last few laps, I didn't want to be throwing away that kind of lead," said Rea.
"My team gave me a great bike after we pulled something out for Superpole that worked in the dry. We made a good change for race two and got up to fourth after I got stuck behind Tom Sykes for a few laps. I lost way too much time at the beginning but I was happy to do a 2'05 lap in the later stages. The race two result was OK but we can go into the summer break happy enough that we've got an overall package that can challenge for podiums."

Built in the sixteenth century, this palace, surrounded by a beautiful garden, with direct private access to the channel, was used by the Venetian nobles to make balls and masquerade parties. 5 years ago transformed into a luxury B & B in the countryside, away from the masses of tourists, it has become an exclusive and relaxing abode for lovers of good taste. Rich and healthy breakfast buffet and table service. We want to spoil you.

Staying at the Villa Lina was a home away from home. The bed was so comfortable. The air conditioner was wonderful. Evi was so very hospitable and her cooking was fabulous. The property was so beautiful with gardens , a balcony overlooking a canal and yet so cozy and warm I did not want to leave. It was a peaceful reprieve from the crowds Venice. I very highly recommend.

From the March 25 2016 issue of the Times Literary Supplement:
The Passion of Charles Péguy in the TLS
From the March 25 2016 issue of the Times Literary Supplement:
From the March 25 2016 issue of the Times Literary Supplement:
A preliminary outcome of our Commonplace Cultures Digging into Data project, we have developed a web-based visual analytics system called ViTA: Visualization for Text Alignment. Hosted by the Oxford e-Research Centre at the University of Oxford, ViTA is a web-based visual analytics interface that enables domain experts to construct a text alignment pipeline, visualize the components and connections for any given method (i.e., an alignment model) using image processing techniques, and then test assumptions about the corresponding inputs and outputs. Rather than visualizing the alignment results in a post hoc manner – as is often the case with many available alignment packages – ViTA's interactive pipeline editing facility essentially becomes a visual programming interface from which users can iteratively build and export more efficient text alignment methods.
We are hoping to use the ViTA interface to refine our existing PhiloLine-PAIR alignment algorithms, with the goal of identifying 'commonplaces' and other forms of large-scale text reuse in the Gale-Cengage Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO) database. A classic 'big data' humanities collection, ECCO currently contains more than 32 million digitized pages from 182,898 titles in 205,639 volumes.
I am delighted to announce that my first book, The Passion of Charles Péguy: Literature, Modernity, and the Crisis of Historicism is now available from Oxford University Press. Those of you in Australia & New Zealand can purchase the book at a 30% discount using this promotional flyer.
Summary: In many ways, the development of twentieth-century literary criticism and theory can be seen as a prolonged struggle against the pervading influence of nineteenth-century positivist historicism. Anglo-American New Criticism and later French Post-structuralism and Deconstruction are the best-known instances of this conflict. Less widely known, but no less important to contemporary literary studies, are Charles Péguy's earlier debates with French academic historicism in the years leading up to World War One. First examined by Antoine Compagnon in his ground-breaking work La Troisième République des lettres in 1983, it is a period in French literary and cultural history that remains, some thirty years later, largely untreated in English. This book thus addresses an important, albeit relatively unexplored, moment in the development of twentieth-century literary history and theory. By way of Péguy's foundational polemics with modernity and his role in the related 'crisis of historicism', we gain a better understanding of the critical basis from which similar anti-positivist and anti-historicist critiques were later enacted on both sides of the Atlantic. In situating Péguy's passions and polemics within the larger cultural and historical context, Glenn H. Roe invites us to reconsider and re-evaluate Péguy's place among twentieth-century literary figures. Beyond its literary-critical aspects, The Passion of Charles Péguy provides a general view of early twentieth-century debates related to the role of literary studies in modern society, the reform of the French educational system, and the formation of literary history as an academic discipline in both France and abroad.
I am very pleased to be one of the co-investigators for a winning project in the third round of the Digging into Data Challenge, an international grant scheme that brings together teams working in computer science and the humanities in the US, Canada, UK, and Netherlands. Our project, "Commonplace Cultures: Mining Shared Passages in the 18th Century using Sequence Alignment and Visual Analytics", aims to explore 18th-century literary culture through the lens of the early modern practice of commonplacing. Leveraging previous work on data mining and automatic classification of Enlightenment texts (link), machine learning approaches to textual borrowings and source criticism in the 18th century (link), sequence alignment techniques for identifying intertextuality (link) and citation practices in the Encyclopédie (link), we plan to use these same approaches to examine commonplaces and to visualise their deployment over the largest collection of 18th-century works ever assembled.
This project is a partnership between the ARTFL Project and Computation Institute (CI) at the University of Chicago and the University of Oxford's e-Research Centre (OeRC) and Voltaire Foundation (VF). Bringing together world-class centres for Enlightenment studies (ARTFL, VF) and multi-disciplinary computing applications (CI, OeRC), the team consists of 18th-century scholars: Robert Morrissey (PI, Chicago) and Nicholas Cronk (Co-I, Oxford); computer scientists: Min Chen (PI, Oxford) and Ian Foster (Co-I, Chicago); and digital humanists: Mark Olsen (Chicago), and me (ANU), among other participants.
See the new Project Website for more updates.
The Voltaire Foundation, in collaboration with the ARTFL Project, is pleased to announce the public release of the TOUT VOLTAIRE online database. This database brings you in fully searchable form all of Voltaire's works apart from his correspondence (which can be searched separately, in Electronic Enlightenment).
Currently publishing the Complete works of Voltaire in print, the Voltaire Foundation plans to unveil an online version of this definitive critical edition sometime after 2018. In the meantime, this plain text version of Voltaire's writings (without critical apparatus or notes) is the most reliable version available anywhere on the web.
The various editions used to establish this database are clearly marked: from the Voltaire Foundation's own Complete works of Voltaire to nineteenth-century editions by Beuchot and Moland, among others. When possible we have included Voltaire's notes, as well as some textual variants depending on the edition. Pagination, however, is often not representative of the print editions, so if you wish to cite Voltaire for scholarly purposes, you should always consult the list of the best critical editions currently available.
The TOUT VOLTAIRE database is built using ARTFL's full-text search and retrieval engine PhiloLogic, one of the oldest and most successful text analysis systems in the digital humanities. With a wide variety of search and reporting functions, users can look for words, groups of words, or phrases over Voltaire's entire corpus, or in individual works (and even parts of works). Results can be displayed in context, as frequency reports (by title, by decade, etc.), or as a collocation table and word cloud.
Example searches could include:
For more search tips, please visit the PhiloLogic user manual.
This research tool is made available free of charge by the Voltaire Foundation (University of Oxford) and the ARTFL Project (University of Chicago). If you wish to make a contribution to our work, please contact the Voltaire Foundation.

The S-glutathionylation of proteins is an important post-translational modification that occurs under normal conditions as well as during oxidative stress. This modification is selective, occurring only on cysteine residues positioned in specific contexts on the surface of target proteins. The disulfide linkage between glutathione and protein is reversible, through the action of thiol-disulfide oxidoreductases.
Glutathionylation substantially alters the functionality of enzymes, receptors, structural proteins, transcription factors, and transport proteins. These changes naturally have far-reaching implications for normal cell biology, response to oxidative stress, and human physiology.
Glutathione is the most abundant nonprotein thiol in cells. As a major antioxidant, it is maintained in a reduced (GSH) state. In the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitrogen species (RNS), GSH donates a reducing equivalent and becomes highly reactive. It can partner with another molecule of reactive glutathione, forming glutathione disulfide (GSSG). Or, it can react with the sulfhydryl group of certain cysteines on proteins.
Of course, the sulfhydryl group must be accessible for interaction with glutathione. Furthermore, reactivity is strongly enhanced if neighboring residues are basic (positively charged), whereas acidic residues in the vicinity of the sulfhydryl group oppose glutathionylation.
Oxidized glutathione, GSSG, is reverted to GSH by glutathione reductase, an enzyme that is constitutively active and inducible upon oxidative stress. Similarly, the disulfide linkage between target protein and glutathione (PSSG) is cleaved by thiol-disulfide oxidoreductases, most notably the glutaredoxins. This suggests that glutathionylation normally serves to alter protein function temporarily, in coordination with localized changes in redox tone.
The effects of glutathionylation on functionality are diverse, as all types of proteins are susceptible. Enzymes involved in energy metabolism are inactivated when glutathionylated, resulting in impaired energy production during oxidative stress. The correlation of oxidative stress and cancer is echoed by the glutathionylation of the tumor suppressor p53, which prevents p53 dimerization necessary for DNA binding.
Interestingly, glutathionylation protects caspase from cleavage, preventing apoptosis. Glutathionylation activates both p21ras, leading to phosphorylation of ERK and Akt as downstream targets, and ryanodine receptors, causing calcium signals that enhance ERK and CREB phosphorylation.
S-Glutathionylation occurs extensively in diseases characterized by oxidative stress, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, lung diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. Reversible S-glutathionylation also occurs in cells under normal conditions. A number of important biological questions remain concerning the mechanism and regulation of adding and removing glutathione to proteins, as well as the role(s) of these modifications in various cellular processes.
Cayman Chemical's S-Glutathionylated Protein Detection Kit includes reagents to study S-glutathionylation using a variety of approaches. Three simple steps are required. First, free sulfhydryl groups are irreversibly blocked (Figure 1). After washing, glutathione residues are then enzymatically removed from proteins in a reducing reaction.
This leaves new, exposed free sulfhydryl groups, which are then tagged with biotin-maleimide. Biotinylated proteins can then be evaluated in several ways. The kit includes two avidin-based detection reagents, utilizing either FITC (fluorescent) or HRP (enhanced chemiluminescent, colorimetric). The entire process, from blocking to labeling, requires less than four hours.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?
